BURNABY COUNSELLING 

We have a strong belief in having a good Counsellor and client connection is extremely important to your experience in therapy. We hear many stories that people have “tried” counselling before but have been unsuccessful or didn’t find it helpful. When we dig deeper, we often find that it is because they just weren’t a good fit. We ensure that you are placed with a Counsellor who is a good fit for you, and we are so committed to you that we will even place you with another agency if we can’t find someone within our practice.

At Interactive Counselling we strive to do it differently. Our Counsellors are constantly training and growing in their practices to ensure that you receive the best quality care possible. Many other counselling practices will state that they are “client centred”, but not like we are. Our Counsellors are so specific to each client, having a strong understanding that no two people are the same. We will not approach you in the same way that we approach others. You are unique, and your situation is unique. You will never feel like you are “just a number” with us, you will feel heard, understood, and supported. We create custom treatment plans based on your story, your goals, and how you learn. We use multiple methods that you benefit you, instead of just using one or two. If something isn’t working, we take a different angle and dig deeper into why it didn’t work. Our Counsellors will teach you tools and provide you the skills to be successful. We are truly committed to our clients and to those who commit to the counselling process.

For your convenience, we operate a wide range of hours which provides you the flexibility to come in for a session when you are able. Our Counsellors work as late as 8pm and we are also open on weekends. We understand that finding a time to take care of your mental health can be challenging, so we try to remove all barriers possible that we can. Interactive Counselling provides in office counselling sessions, online or virtual counselling sessions, as well as phone counselling sessions. We have many clients who do a “hybrid” of sessions, where they come into our office for some and when their schedule doesn’t allow the drive time due to family commitments or work meetings, they do virtual sessions from where it is convenient for them! So, whether you come to us, or you take us with you wherever you go, you have no excuses left to not address your mental health.

At Interactive Counselling we know when you reach out for help, you need help now, not weeks or months from now. We appreciate the courage that it can take to ask for help and we value that. It is our goal by working such extended hours, that we can get you in to see a Counsellor within the same week, and if not that week, the following. As we are a private practice and are not covered underneath the BC medical health plan, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a Counsellor within our office. Many third party extended benefits do cover counselling services, and we recommend that you inquire directly with your benefit company to find out what designation and amount you are covered for. We do direct bill ICBC if you are approved for counselling services. Currently, we do not have a psychologist on staff. If you have any questions or need further information on our Counsellors, please do not hesitate to contact us as we are here to help!
